‘Sense of Security’ — Subscriptions at Swiss Swimming Pool Surge After Ban on Migrants

by Kurt Zindulka

Officials have claimed that membership sign-ups to a swimming pool in the Swiss municipality of Porrentruy have increased significantly after authorities imposed a ban on foreigners.

Last week, the Porrentruy Outdoor Swimming Pool announced that only those with a Swiss passport or a valid residence permit would be allowed access to the facilities following a spate of incidents involving migrants.

Lionel Maître, the official in charge of regulating leisure activities for the area, told Germany’s Bild newspaper that the ban on foreigners “went very well,” adding: “We saw an increase in subscription sales because citizens have finally regained the long-awaited sense of security.”

“We have taken a strong measure for this season. We still have to think about next season. But one thing is clear: if we have to repeat the measure, we will,” he said.

According to the paper, since the start of the swimming season, the pool had been shut down 23 times for incidents and zero times since the ban on foreigners.

A regular patron of the pool told the Swiss news outlet 20 Minutes that there have been frequent arguments between lifeguards and people with a “migrant background” — mostly young men of North African extraction — coming across the border in France over hygiene requirements, such as showering before entering the pool.

Officials said that the ban, which will only last until the end of the high season, was easily implemented as revellers were already required to show their passports, given that foreigners were charged more to enter than locals.
